Excellent Attorney!

Michael Mullen is an exceptional attorney and person! I hired Michael for a legal matter that needed immediate attention, and he wasted no time getting to work. He explained every step of the process in detail to me - before, during, and after. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, and answe...red all my questions. He was also compassionate and understanding of my particular situation. I also requested that Michael keep certain contacts of mine aware of what was going on in my case and he went above and beyond to reach out to them and make sure they were updated. Michael worked hard to get me a very favorable outcome, I could not have asked for a better attorney, and I am extremely grateful. I highly recommend Michael!

5 Star Review

I have worked with Michael for several months. He is an excellent attorney. He is very straight forward and honest with clients. In his initial meeting he makes sure to give an easy to understand yet comprehensive explanation of the criminal charges in question, potential penalties and his strategy. ...He is very fair with his rates and will even recommend sticking to a legal aid attorney for clients who qualify in order to save them money (in the kinds of cases where a private attorney will not make a major difference).

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Michael Mullen is an excellent trial lawyer, well respected by judges and opposing counsels. Genius strategist on how to approach a plea bargaining with prosecution and if not offered what his client is looking for, he will try the case. Michel obtained many acquittals on difficult felonies and misdemeanors. You should see him on trial and will understand that his clients are protected the most when he handles the case."
